merry christmas, all

problem with a united world is that culture would be completely lost. is it me or is there something absurdly wrong with mcdonalds encroaching on the business of street cafes in paris?

with resources available to you, youd have a difficult time. familiar with schrodinger's cat? think along those lines, but with quite a few variables....and if you don't have an ultracentrifuge, add a bunch more variables. probability states that you cannot possibly do it:\

you really have no idea what youre talking about. i know chlorine dioxide and its properties. i know that you made chlorine dioxide. yes, as long as it is wet, you are in less danger than otherwise. the water will readily evaporate and it will detonate in sunlight. surely you would never say that you know more than the people at merck

i was speaking of the pure polypeptide extract

you obviously didn't read their first posts. they came onto this forum saying that they snuck into their school lab and mixed sulfuric acid and sodium chlorate, just for the hell of it. they had no idea what the product would be, and appeared to know little even about their reactants. that's not smart chemistry. i myself am very much in support of experimentalism but advocate INTELLIGENT application. i had a really dangerous encounter with H2S, SO2 and Br2 not too long ago due to a combination of negligence in a slight error in calculation of concentration and impurity in my reagents

does anybody else here think it's a bad idea for amateurs to mix random chemicals? dude. get some experience and THEN go back to chlorine dioxide someday maybe

no, it actually doesn't. the sulfate anion is more appealing to a cation than the nitrate anion

it decomposes explosively yielding chlorine and oxygen

i would say you have aqueous chlorine dioxide

and enough to kill george mason within 12 hours:(

i was speaking in terms of moles. botulinum toxin a is bloody huge; its molecular mass is greater than 150,000 and they still dont know the entire polypeptide sequence. ricin on the other hand is significantly smaller

looks like a blast

3% isn't saturated

chlorine dioxide can be a liquid... read above. merck index trumps all

im not saying it can be more soluble. what im saying is that it could become supersaturated, although saturation point depends on temperature

haha, perxenic anhydride. thats an enjoyable concept

no need for debate; i know im right

not in large quantities. i'd like to see perxenic acid act on a piece of wood

actually, botulinum toxin a is something like 100 million times more lethal than ricin

well, you could concentrate the NH3 by boiling the solution. water will boil off but the NH3 will remain aqueous even beyond the point of saturation

yeah you could use carbonate instead of the sulfate. yeah, perxenates are absurd for us to think of

i agree, but the most toxic chemical IS IN FACT botulinum toxin a

how should i know what you made? look at the properties i listed for chlorine dioxide. if they match the properties of your gas, it probably was chlorine dioxide you made. YET AGAIN, chlorine dioxide does not simply "break down" to chlorine and oxygen. rather it DECOMPOSES RAPIDLY in such a manner than MANY MOLECULES OF GAS are evolved with a great RELEASE OF ENERGY. this is called an EXPLOSION

ok let me put this to rest. chlorine dioxide, also known as chlorine peroxide [math]ClO_2[/math] is extremely unstable because chlorine can't really have a +4 oxidation state or formal charge. it decomposes in an explosive manner to form chlorine and oxygen. it will oxidize things. according to my merck index (13th edition): "strongly oxidizing, yellow to reddish-yellow gas at room temp. unpleasant odor similar to that of chlorine and reminiscent of that of nitric acid. unstable in light; stable in dark if pure, but chlorides catalyze its decompn even in the dark. REACTS VIOLENTLY WITH ORGANIC MATERIALS. in concns in excess of 10% at atm pressure easily detonated by sunlight, heat, contact with mercury or carbon monoxide. mp=-59 celsius; bp= 11 celsius. sol in water (3.01g/l at 25 celsius and 34.5mm Hg) with slight hydrolysis to chlorous and chloric acid; sol in alkaline and sulfuric acid solns. solid is yellowish-red crystalline mass; liquid is reddish-brown.
